Chapter 70: Let’s go to the sea

The scene was a mess, but fortunately the crab finally released the clamp. The program team brought along medical staff who came to treat Fang Fang in time. Fortunately, it was just a minor skin break and no bleeding, so she was cleaned and disinfected and then put on a Band-Aid.

"Does it hurt?" Yanyan blew on Fangfang's fingers.

"Well..." Fang Fang sobbed, "It still hurts a little."

Gu Yejin comforted Fang Fang: "Fang Fang, eat ice cream."

"Thank you, uncle!" Fang Fang was no longer sad when she saw the ice cream in front of her.

"It's okay, Fangfang." Xie Luoshu said, "Let's roast this crab tonight."

"Hmm..." Fang Fang felt a little craving when she thought of the taste of crabs.

"Give some of mine to Fang Fang, too!"

"Me too……"

"Then let's eat together, okay?" Xie Luoshu looked at the small seafood in the buckets, "But it's a little little. Can we go find some more?"

"good!"

"Fang Fang wants to come too?"

Fang Fang nodded: "Yeah! Together."

"Zizi wants to eat ice cream too." Yanyan muttered softly and was heard by Xie Luoshu.

"Zizi wants to eat it too. Let Daddy go buy it."

"Dad!" Yanyan looked at Gu Yejin with expectant eyes.

"Yes." Gu Yejin nodded, "I'll go buy it."

"Anyone else want ice cream? Raise your hand!"

"I!"

"I want to eat, too."

"Go ahead, Mr. Gu." Xie Luoshu said with a smile on his face.

"What about you?" Gu Yejin asked, "Do you want to eat too?"

"Me?" Xie Luoshu didn't expect Gu Yejin to ask him, "I can do anything."

Gu Yejin smiled and said, "You want to eat it. I'll go buy it."

"Xiao Xie, Mr. Gu." Bai Xueling waved her hands, "I'll leave the children to you. We'll leave first."

The progress of the majority of the group was quite fast, but the kids couldn't walk fast and had to pick up shells, so they fell behind for a long time. The program staff and guests followed the volunteers, and they couldn't fall behind and slack off.

"Okay." Xie Luoshu nodded, "Thank you for giving us this chance to slack off."

"That's right, children are hard to raise."

This is indeed true. The five children are at the age of being lively and playful, and they are very curious about the things around them. If one of them is interested, the other will run away.

"Run slower." Xie Luoshu shouted, "Xia Xia! Don't run too far!"

"Uncle! What is this? It's transparent." Lili didn't hesitate and grabbed a large piece of transparent thing. "It looks like a jellyfish."

Xie Luoshu didn't see it, but when he heard what it was, he was shocked: "Jellyfish? Put it down!"

Lili obediently let go, and the things in the water fell back to the ground with a "pop".

"This is..." Xie Luoshu carefully identified it, then picked it up and put it in the bucket. "It's okay, it's jellyfish, you can eat it."

"Sticky hands." Yan Yan seemed to have some octopus-attracting physique, and another octopus was sucked onto his hand.

Xie Luoshu had just taken the octopus off Yanyan's hand when Lulu came over dragging a bunch of things: "Uncle, you see a lot."

"What is this?" Fang Fang asked.

"Some shellfish, maybe." Xie Luoshu was not an encyclopedia, so he didn't know much about it.

"This is a mussel." Some people have already come to catch it. "It's delicious whether steamed or made into soup. It's so fresh. The child is very lucky to have so many."

"Oh, thank you."

"Did you bring any tools?" The locals were very enthusiastic. "Small shovels, colanders, and the like."

"No." Xie Luoshu shook his head, "They just did it on impulse."

"Ashu." Xie Luoshu looked over. No wonder Gu Yejin took so long to come back. He was holding a plastic bag in one hand, one of which contained ice cream, and the other one looked like some tool.

"This is ice cream." Gu Yejin said, "Here are some tools for catching fish. Let them wash their hands and eat the ice cream first."

The cubs washed their little paws and started eating the ice cream.

"Fang Fang's is different." Lili said as she ate, "Is Fang Fang's delicious?"

Fang Fang ate quickly and was almost done: "It's delicious."

"Lili's is delicious too." Lili said, "Here's some candy."

"Thank you, Lili." Fang Fang took the coconut candy.

[Mr. Gu, as a big CEO, why would you buy this kind of packaged ice cream? Shouldn't you buy the handmade ones?]

[Do you think Mr. Gu can handle it?]

[Mr. Gu also bought some tools for catching the sea. If Mr. Gu had the ability, he would definitely buy handmade ones. Look at Fang Fang’s.]

[Isn’t this partiality? Buying for Fang Fang but not for the other kids.]

[None of the kids said anything, Yanyan was eating happily, but you started to speak up for the other kids. Who are you?]

"What did you buy?" Gu Yejin and Xie Luoshu divided the tools together. Each of the kids got a small shovel, a small colander, and a small pair of tongs. "Why is there a colander?"

"The clerk said this is very convenient for scooping up clams," said Gu Yejin. "And there's salt for catching bamboo clams."

"Bamboo razor clams?" It was Xie Luoshu's first time to go fishing, and he found these things very novel.

"Yes." Gu Yejin looked very knowledgeable, "Pour the salt in and the bamboo clams will pop out on their own."

After the cubs finished eating, Xie Luoshu couldn't wait to take them to the sea.

"Look here." Gu Yejin pointed to a clearly arched area, "This is a crab lying on the sand."

Xie Luoshu looked carefully and really saw the crab's back: "Really."

Gu Yejin reached out to catch it, but Xie Luoshu was frightened by Fang Fang and said, "Be careful not to get caught."

"No problem." Gu Yejin was calm and composed. He had just watched a lot of videos and consulted the store clerk.

The crab was scooped up from the bottom, turned over and thrown into the water. The crab, disturbed by the noise, waved its claws and feet, trying to turn over, but it couldn't turn over and had no strength. The sea water also washed away all the sand on its body.

At this time, pinch the tail with your fingers up and down so that the crab's pincers cannot pinch it.

"Wow! That's amazing!" This move made the kids exclaim wildly.

"This is a cat's eye snail, it attracts water." Gently rinse off the sand on the surface with sea water, then put it in your hand and squeeze it hard, water splashes everywhere, and it is also very relaxing.

"I want to pinch it too."

"Dad, my son wants one too."

"Find another one." Gu Yejin said. After pinching a cat's eye snail, you need to put it in water for a while before pinching it again.

What followed was a long process of finding the cat's eye snail.

Lili held up something that looked like a five-pointed star: "Uncle, this is so beautiful!"

“This is a starfish.”

"Are there any crabs here?" Fang Fang had a deep hatred for crabs, and actually pinched him! He wanted to eat a lot of crabs!

"You caught so many crabs?" Xie Luoshu counted them carefully and found nine. If Zaizai had the physique of an octopus sucker, then Fangfang had the physique of a crab saint, and he could tell the difference with every glance.

Xia Xia is keen on using a colander. She would scoop up a large spoonful of sand, then drag it to the seaside and shake it repeatedly in the water. After the sand fell out, what remained in the colander were a handful of clams and some white clams.

If you are lucky, you can get a lot of things. It has only been a short time, but Xia Xia has already picked up a lot.

As an elegant girl, Lili was simply taking a walk along the beach.

"There are bamboo clams in these holes." Gu Yejin recalled the video he had watched before, dug out some of the sand on top, and then sprinkled salt on the frame.

"So much salt." Lulu asked, "Are you going to use salt to kill the bamboo clams?"

Gu Yejin: "...That's not the case. If you sprinkle salt, the salt concentration in this area will rise, and the bamboo clams will come out thinking it's high tide."

"So that's how it is." After a while, bamboo clams popped out one after another. "Wow, so many of them popped out!"

"Xia Xia, don't be anxious." Gu Yejin held Xia Xia, "Wait a moment, wait until they are almost out. It's harder to dig them out now when they just pop out."

"Uncle! I caught a fish!" Lili ran over excitedly carrying a bucket.

"Caught a fish?" Xie Luoshu was surprised. "That's amazing!"

[Salt the bamboo clams to death?]

[Bamboo clam: How presumptuous of you.]

[Lili's elegant walk~]

[Hahaha, you are worthy of being our little princess.]

[? Lili, where is your elegance?]

[It went in with just one scoop? Then what about the slap I got from the fish?!]

[It's your bad luck, hahaha! I've never seen anyone get slapped by a fish. I want to see (touching chin)]

Lili saw several people squatting to catch bamboo clams. She was not very interested, so she just walked two steps to the side, and then... she saw a fish in a puddle!

There were only some beautiful shells and starfish in Lili's bucket. She didn't dare to catch the fish with her hands, so she knelt on the beach, put the bucket on the ground, and shoveled the fish in with a small shovel.

"Why are there so much sand on your knees?" Xie Luoshu was also attracted by the bamboo clams and didn't pay attention to Lili. He quickly washed the sand off Lili's legs, wiped them dry and applied sunscreen.

"Thank you, uncle." Lili lifted the bucket. "Look! Fish!"

"I saw it." Xie Luoshu nodded, "I'll roast it and eat it tonight."

Lili asked, "Do you want to burn it?"

Xie Luoshu thought Lili was reluctant, so he immediately changed his words: "No..."

"Can I have red-braised pork?"

"Yes, sure." He was worrying too much. He already knew that these kids were all foodies.

Later, the two adults and the kids picked up some mussels, abalone, conch, etc. When the other guests came back, they had already picked up most of the food.

"It's getting late." Director Zhu said, "Everyone has worked hard today! The program team will treat us tonight at XX restaurant."

The restaurant the director was talking about was the restaurant where Xie Luoshu, Zou Jiayan and the director and his group met at that time.

"Hey? You don't want to eat the crabs we caught?" Fang Fang's fingers no longer hurt. He had been catching crabs for the entire afternoon and had been thinking about it for a long time.

"Zizi's octopus~"

"And Lili's fish. Uncle Xie said it can be braised."

"This..." The kids were talking at once, making Director Zhu feel a little embarrassed.

"We have a kitchen in our house." Gu Yejin said, "How about we do it ourselves tonight. What do you think?"

"I don't care." Zou Jiayan raised his hand, "I can't cook, but I can do all the odd jobs."

"My cooking skills are just average, it's fine if you don't mind."

"Of course." Bai Xueling nodded, "This was caught by the children."

"Me too." Xie Luoshu nodded.

Director Zhu nodded when he saw that no one had any objections. "Okay, that's perfect. The fish we caught yesterday are still in the water. I'll have them bring them to you."
